RankTeamReason
1 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky Plenty of experience returning, mixed with new talent. If it meshes, this team could be awesome.
2 University of Wisconsin-Madison Logo Wisconsin A really good chance for a return trip to the Final Four.
3 University of Arizona Logo Arizona Top 5 team last year, with a lot returning and a great recruiting class.
4 Duke University Logo Duke Maybe too high, maybe too low. Another intriguing mix of young players with a few veterans.
5 University of Kansas Logo Kansas 2/3 top picks in the 2014 draft... and still favorites for the Big 12.
6 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina Paige will lead them to great things.
7 University of Louisville Logo Louisville Still a great team even without Smith or Hancock
8 University of Virginia Logo Virginia Can they repeat last years success?
9 University of Florida Logo Florida Talent is there, but who will help Frazier III score?
10 Wichita State University Logo Wichita State Lost Early, but still plenty of upperclassmen leadership.
11 University of Texas at Austin Logo Texas Solid on paper...
12 Iowa State University Logo Iowa State All aboard the Niang train.
13 Villanova University Logo Villanova Most of the team returns. Could have done better last year if they didn't run into the UConn buzz saw.
14 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga Can't wait to see what Wiltjer can do this year.
15 University of Connecticut Logo UConn Boatright has some big shoes to fill.
16 Virginia Commonwealth University Logo VCU Smart is ready to lead his team to another solid season.
17 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State Hopefully Izzo can compensate for all the talent lost from last year.
18 Ohio State University Logo Ohio State Craft is finally gone.
19 Southern Methodist University Logo SMU I'm sure they still feel shafted from last year.
20 University of Nebraska-Lincoln Logo Nebraska Lots of veterans, can they stand up to the pressure?
21 University of Oklahoma Logo Oklahoma Another team returning a lot of players, looking to repeat last year's success.
22 San Diego State University Logo San Diego State Potential is there despite scoring worries.
23 Harvard University Logo Harvard Not sure if they will be ranked throughout the season, but again could be interesting matchup in March.
24 University of Colorado Logo Colorado Could end up much higher than this ranking.
25 University of Arkansas Logo Arkansas Maybe a stretch to rank them. Kansas St. is my #26.
